Activision’s been showing off today about the successful (to say the least) launch of Guitar Hero: On Tour. It’s been on sale in the US for about ten days now, and the first week’s sales have been revealed - the game has sold over 300,000 copies. Incredible. Particularly as it’s more expensive than your average DS title at $49.99 (the same as the solus version of Guitar Hero: Aerosmith on Wii, price fans).

This makes GH: On Tour the biggest DS launch in North America for Activision by a long, long way. In fact, it’s outsold the second-biggest handheld seller from the company by a factor of eight. It’s also one of Activision’s five biggest sellers EVER, which is probably a better stat than the last one.

Guitar Hero: On Tour is released in the UK two weeks tomorrow, and is quite good, even if it doesn’t really feel like Guitar Hero.
